Every Tuesday afternoon, I attend the creative writing peer review workshop. This workshop runs for four weeks in March and today will be the last meeting. The workshop is not a typical event where you sit down and hear a staff member talk. This workshop is group oriented and we basically edit each other’s work. The group that I meet with is comprised of two students and a writing center staff, who acts as the moderator. While the group members take turn commenting on the essays, the staff member will offer her suggestions and comment on another student’s input. Throughout my time in this group, I really enjoy hearing other people’s point of view on the essays . I feel that it will help in the long run when others read the essay because they will understand it better. Another thing that I liked was the fact that the group didn’t necessarily have to submit a fictional piece to be edited, the members can add whatever work they want reviewed. Below is an example of one my assignments that has been edited. This group helped me make some new friends and improve my essays.

What you did is amazing. I think it really helped to improve your writing and get to know others’ opinions. If I have the chance, I would like to attend the peer review too.
